About

Unofficial Telegram client based on Telegram Desktop with a focus on practical improvements and a faster release cycle.

Refined Interface: Enjoy square contact avatars, a square tray icon, and the option to see a user's last seen time directly in the dialog list.

Enhanced Navigation: Jump instantly to the first unread message with a dedicated button. Keep important windows on top with an "Always on top" toggle.

Master Your Media: Swap images in albums you've already sent or group multiple photos into one album without re-uploading.
